A variable frequency AC source is connected to a capacitor. How will the displacement current change with decrease in frequency?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If frequency of AC source is increased, capacitive reactance will decrease, hence conduction current will increase. Therefore, the displacement current will also increase.
